"Have those guys been closed all afternoon?"
An glanced outside the restaurant and asked indifferently.
"Yes, I don't know what they're up to."
A staff member respectfully said.
"They probably realized they couldn't compete with us, so they gave up, right? After all, whether it's the cuisine or the environment, they can't compare to us in any aspect."
A chef smiled slightly and said, "Moreover, those poor devils can't afford too good ingredients to compete with us."
"Even so, since the other side has three Elite Ten, we cannot underestimate them."
An frowned slightly and said.
"They say that Far Moon Totsuki Ten Masters graduates will grow to be leaders in the culinary industry, but in my opinion, they are nothing special."
The chef said disdainfully, "Moreover, we have already sold eight hundred servings of food, and tonight we are expected to break fifteen hundred servings."
Hearing this number, An felt a slight sense of relief.
"But, when our shop officially opens in the future, will we also sell at such prices to those commoners?"
One of the female chefs frowned and said discontentedly.
In her own shop, dishes started at five thousand per serving, and this time they even used expensive ingredients, but now they were practically giving them away to those commoners, which made her feel very resentful.
The other chefs felt the same; the thought of their carefully prepared dishes being sold at such a low price to commoners who understood nothing made them very unhappy!
It was like carefully cultivated high-quality fruit being given to monkeys to eat, which made them feel it was not worth it.
"Of course not. Once we take over this area, we will raise the prices of the dishes to a normal level."
An said.
On the other side, after experiencing the setbacks of the morning, Satou and the others were also ready to launch a formal counterattack.
"Although we wasted a day, it's almost the peak dining time in the evening, and now is the moment for a formal counterattack."
Erina Nakiri said in a deep voice, like a calm and collected Head Chef.
"No problem!"
Mimasaka Subaru, Yukihira Soma, and others smiled confidently, as if they were generals ready to await the Head Chef's order to attack at any moment.
Soon, two large pots were placed at the entrance of the shop. In the large pots, fish bone and pork bone broths were simmering, and rolling steam accompanied by a rich aroma wafted out.
"It smells so good! What is this broth made from?"
A couple was attracted by the aroma wafting from the two large pots and stopped in their tracks.
"This is our shop's special broth, and it tastes very delicious! How about it, would you like to come in and sit down?"
Yukihira Soma had an enthusiastic smile on his face.
"It really smells good; I wonder what ingredients it's made from."
The girl twitched her nose, a look of intoxication on her face, and asked curiously, "What is the broth in this pot made from?"
Tadokoro Megumi, standing nearby, smiled slightly and said, "This is made from a type of mushroom and the bones of a pig."
"Mushrooms? I love eating mushrooms the most."
The girl's eyes lit up, and she said to the boy, "Why don't we eat here?"
"Let's not, I heard that across the street there's cheap lobster ramen, as well as mussel pasta and king crab fried noodles. Such dishes are rare to eat."
The boy said with difficulty, really wanting to try them.
"But I really want to eat mushrooms."
The girl said with a bit of reluctance, "Anyway, that shop won't run away. Isn't it fine if we go tomorrow? Let's eat here tonight?"
Hearing this, although the boy was a little unwilling, he still walked into the shop at his girlfriend's request.
"Our shop has two types of ramen: catfish ramen and mushroom ramen. What would you like?"
Tadokoro Megumi asked.
"We'll have one bowl of each," the couple said as they sat down.
"Satou, one bowl of catfish ramen, one bowl of mushroom ramen."
Tadokoro Megumi called out to the person in the kitchen.
"No problem," Satou smiled slightly, then quickly passed the ramen through the broth, put it into a bowl, poured a large scoop of pork bone broth, and a thick stack of mushroom slices, saying, "Done."
On the other side, Nagi-no-ki Touko had also finished the catfish ramen and had Miyoko Hojo bring it over.
"It smells so good!"
The girl's face showed an intoxicated smile. She then took a sip of the rich soup; the bone broth had an exceptionally mellow taste, along with the unique fresh aroma of mushrooms. The mushroom slices were also exceptionally fresh and tender.
She had never eaten such delicious mushrooms!
"The texture of these mushrooms is amazing! They are so tender and smooth, and they have a fresh aroma."
She exclaimed in admiration.
The boy was equally shocked by the catfish ramen.
At first, he was a bit unwilling to eat here, having been dragged over by his girlfriend. But after tasting the first bite, he was stunned by the dish.
The catfish meat was fried to be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with an incredibly delicious flavor. He swore he had never eaten such delicious fried fish. Compared to it, even the texture of lobster seemed to become rough.
The soup base was even more incredibly delicious; with one sip, his mouth was filled with the fresh taste of fish.
"This fish is too delicious, what kind of fish is this?"
The boy quickly asked.
"It's catfish," Mimasaka Subaru smiled faintly.
"Catfish?" The boy was stunned. Of course, he had eaten catfish before, but the catfish in his memory was nowhere near this delicious!
Soon, both bowls of noodles were eaten by the two, and still wanting more, they ordered two more bowls.
When it was time to pay, both were surprised by the price.
"That will be three thousand six hundred yen," Tadokoro Megumi said with a sweet smile.
"That cheap?" The two were instantly stunned. They had originally thought that the other party must have used high-grade catfish and mushrooms, and the price would surely be extremely expensive. They never expected it to be so affordable!
"That's right, catfish ramen is one thousand yen, and mushroom ramen is eight hundred yen," Tadokoro Megumi explained.
"This seems to be even cheaper than the one across the street!" The boy was again dumbfounded.
The lobster ramen across the street cost one thousand two hundred yen, which was already very cheap, but he never expected this place to be even cheaper.
In his opinion, the catfish had an exceptionally excellent taste and was definitely a rare and precious ingredient!
After seeing the two off, many more customers were successively attracted by the aroma of the broth at the shop entrance.
